' "Even if the Court gave its full and unwavering approval, nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics making the request. It will always be more, more, more," Trump said in his post.
Trump was in the same circles as Epstein, as they socializing in New York and Palm Beach, Fla. Trump claims they had a falling out and hadn't spoken in 15 years before his death.

"Their new SCAM is what we will forever call the Jeffrey Epstein Hoax, and my PAST supporters have bought into this 'bulls---,' hook, line, and sinker," he wrote on Truth Social. "They haven't learned their lesson, and probably never will, even after being conned by the Lunatic Left for 8 long years."
